800 Price and 3.00 Speed: PC Laptop X

The document provides 6 examples of using relational algebra to define constraints on relationships between attributes in different relations. Specifically: 1) A PC with speed < 3.00 must have price <= $800. 2) A laptop with screen < 15.4 inches must have HDD >= 120GB or price < $1000. 3) If a laptop has more RAM than a PC, the laptop must have higher price. 4) No manufacturer can make both PCs and printers. 5) Extends example 4 to include a PRODUCT relation. 6) Higher model PC must have higher price, and with same model higher specs must have higher price.
